Full coverage of all 6 core units for the new BTEC National specifications from EdexcelBTEC Nationals - IT Practitioners is a new course text written specifically to cover the compulsory core units of the new BTEC Nationals specifications, which are replacing the current BTEC National Computing scheme in 2002. Students following all National Certificate and Diploma programmes within the new scheme will find this book essential reading, as it covers the core material they will be following through the duration of their course. Knowledge-check questions and activities are included throughout, resulting in a clear and straightforward text which encourages independent study. The coverage is designed to cater for students following a General, ICT Systems Support, or Software Development course. Answers to numerical problems are included, and further support material is available on the Newnes website.

A Good Foundation

This book covers just 6 core units so it is by no means a complete course book. What it does cover, however, provides excellent reinforcement for the course. The diagrams and explanations are very clear so referring to this to clear up something you didn't get first time round in class is easy. Something particularly helpful is that it doesn't assume a great deal of previous subject knowledge, so a student new to IT would benefit a great deal from the book's straightforward approach. The Questions and Answers provided throughout mean you can test your improvement each step of the way.
